2.0 8v turbo conversion

Post by JakesVW »

Hi guys

I've done a 2.0 8v with sidies conversion on my citi golf and would like to know if i would be able to do a turbo conversion on it. What price range can i prepare for (stock 2.0 motor at the moment) and what would i need to change?

Thanks in advance

what is your budget.
Are you asking if you can use the sidedraughts?

you cannot blow through sidedraughts. You could possible use one and let the turbo suck through it.
Mp9 does not do turbo either.
So realistically you can use just the bottom end.
You have to find a way to drop the cr if you want to use that head or put a 16v head on that bottom end.
Budget around R50k+ for a proper turbo conversion.
